At first just the fact that co-op was going to be a thing made me mad.
Then my day made me even more angry.
Now I see this and I just want to burn everything.

P4 was essentially a Japanese Scooby Doo. It was almost the anti-SMT; until a certain point in the story (aka December), everything was pretty happy and upbeat. I mean, it's a good game, it just really shouldn't have SMT's name attached to it.
But yes Golden is 100% fanservice and whoever came up with the idea to create it really needs to just die. I mean, they did great with P3P, I had no problems with it, but... Golden... just... I don't even know.

You know when Index holdings absorbed Atlus in 2010 I was concerned. And know I am starting to think I had a very good reason for that concern. Since then Persona 4 has been beaten like a dead horse for spinoffs and adaptations (some of which like the anime were pretty sucky too), and it looks like they are starting with Devil Survivor 2 now. I really don't want to see any new announcements for anything with the words persona and 4 in the same sentence.

I am not really hyped for Fire Emblem meets Shin Megami Tensei either. Not only do I find the level of cross promotion to be somewhat of a turn-off, but Fire Emblem's perma-death and Shin Megami's highly lethal combat go together like salt and an open cut.

Of course I will have to buy a Japanese dictionary since I can't read the language.

UGHHHH DO I WANT THEM IN THE WORST WAY.
I know Adventure 01 well enough to probably feel my way through the game, but I just don't see the point in buying it when I have no idea what is being said. We just have to pray for a localization, which we won't get.

I dunno what you guys are talking about, I'm fuggin' loving P4G right now, it's probably one of my favourite RPGs ever now.

Also release it for the PlayStation.

That is the truest of survival horror (which is definitely what Dead Space is because it is survival horror). There is no way any other sort of game could be scary or even entertaining without that exact setup.

I am assuming their complaint is mostly due to the additions of lack there of not the the core game itself. (which is a pretty great game) Because you didn't play the PS2 version, the complaints probably aren't all that relevant to you. From where I am standing it looks like the gameplay tweaks are mostly minor improvements. I can't speak for the plot change/additions however, since I haven't played Golden.

My bad. I shouldn't expect devs to take advantage of available hardware and make a game that looks good, instead of handing us a game optimized for outdated hardware.

So, nothing new for Dead Space? The first game didn't have too many graphics options and V-sync was completely broken to the point where the control lag made the game barely playable when it was turned on, and the second game fixed that by having various sliders (and V-sync that actually worked) but still forced high-end graphics even on the lowest settings.

They were really that bad? I played both with Intel HD 3000 and got a good 30 FPS.

Technically, neither should any of the Personas. Spoiler:- emot_words.gif:

Persona is part of a subseries of the main Megami Tensei series and not SMT; SMT is another subseries of MegaTen. The Persona games in Japan were never marketed under the Shin Megami Tensei heading, at first as Megami Ibunroku and later just as their own series.

But I get what you're going at, too, and it's a reasonable point.

P3P also had precious little new content. P4G has the Adachi branch and a whole new ending associated with it, just for starters.

Also the Naoto thing from the novel pisses me off hardcore because she started off as a character with a very serious struggle and a fairly cool personality and, as far as I can tell, they basically turned her into a ****ing moeblob fanservice character. That's... incredibly distressing. I'm not gonna scream misogyny about it, but I do not feel good about it.

I am not a big fan of CoD myself, but I am getting a little tired of it being complained about so much. Yeah Activision is milking the name, but it's not like it's actually the same game every year. Infinity Ward and Treyarch alternate as the developer each year, and the Call of Duties they develop aren't exactly the same. (right now one does modern warfare and one does black-ops) At least it's not Guitar Hero levels of milking where the release multiple games a year.

If Activison announces one more Call of Dogshit, I'm gonna quit video games.

Is your hatred for Activision the only thing you post about? Either way, go ahead and quit video games for whatever shitty reason you want, still doesn't change the fact you don't have to play or buy the games.

While we are at the subject of first person shooters, are there any other folk's on this forum that play Battlefield 3? I'm something like 200 h into it and still can't get enough of it. The new Aftermath maps are especially brilliant and have such a great level design.

I don't like it solely because of the fact it gets SO much attention, even 9 year olds play Call of Duty. So many other games deserve the attention Call of Duty gets, games that take teamwork and effort to be good at them. Games such as Dota 2, Counter Strike, Team Fortress 2, and Arma 2 come to mind. But no, since today's society likes taking the easy way out, the easy games such as Call of Duty will be the most popular. Damn shame, so many games are just left in the dust while Call of Duty claims the #1 spot every year. And it's even more annoying when lots of people only play CoD and nothing else, seriously there's tons of games out there that are better than CoD.
